Hi, I have a Macbook (with OS Tiger) and TwonkyMedia Server installed. When I turn on my Xbox, it shows up in the receiver list of TwonkyMedia Server. However, on my Xbox nothing shows up - no Mac / Twonky. If I use Connect360 to share files, my Mac does show up on the Xbox. Have I overlooked any settings on the TwonkyMedia Server?
Thanks for the help!

Re: MacBook + TwonkyMedia Server + Xbox 360
Are you running a firewall which blocks outgoing ports on your MacBook? If so you will need to Open UDP ports 1030, 1900, 9080 and TCP 9000. All of these are OUTGOING connections FROM your TwonkyMedia Server machine. 9000 can also be INCOMING if you want to remotely manage it.
I didn't get anything on my 360 till I opened up all of these ports. I however was running from a Mac OS X server with the firewall services enabled. If you have a firewall on your Mac (other than the one located in the Security System Pref), you will need to adjust the settings to get anything working.
Let us know if you get Internet Radio streaming to work. I have not been able to yet. I also haven't been able to get Twonky to read my iTunes playlists. It can read my Artists, Albums and Songs, but no Playlists.
